s**t Box Galaxy Tidy up detail-ish...

[Scrooge]

Fat Dave's next door neighbour was about to hand over 100 of her English pounds over to some bosnians to tidy up her Galaxy with a s**t rag and some T-cut. I interjected and other to do a better job as I didn't have much on this weekend....

How it arrived, in all it's shitty goodness;

So yep total shed. I was told it had a complete blow over at some point. It was pretty obvious as the paint was patchy, orange peeley, very soft and just general s**t.

I did the usual proper cleansing, decontaminating and then inside to start the proper work;

Nicely fucked then. It however gave me the chace to start teaching Dave the machines and techniques etc. We found this paint so s**t and soft that I used very very fine compund to do the trick. Incredibly s**t.

It was finished with two layers of some AF Temptation, a nice wax tbh.

We just wanted to hurry with this as we new that all the work would be fucked within a few weeks by the bosnians and their filthy rags. Also the weather and mosquitos weren't helping..f*****s. Dave improvised and spent a lot of the day doing this...

Whenever you're down south haha

 

[Mr R.]

WOW cracking work mate, i might just buy a black car for you to make it look epic.

Oh good to see you again today.

 

[Scrooge]

Cheers dude. A mint black Ph1 to go with the mint silver would make soo much sense haha!

Yer mate I wish I could've come back to DaveRons, was good seeing you all this morning!

 

[Rob]

Looks smashing that. Like a different car.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Hippopotabus.

Fcuking thing best have been smelling of strippers by the time it went home !!

What a heap.

 

[Scrooge]

Yep I doused it in stripper scent to make the drive home half decent, proper hanging fat wagon lol

Least you got to see it and smell it lol

 

[George182]

Wow - what a great result!

 

[Scrooge]

Thanks I'm pretty pleased condsidering what effort was ploughed into it (not much).

 

[dmallett]

Top work! That ash tray is disgusting though, I didnt realise people actually used them in cars!

 

[Gally]

Really is like a different car mate. Awesome work!

 

[Chapppers11]

Great work mate!

Lot of work for £100!

 

[Scrooge]

Cheers! You should have smelt it lol

Really is like a different car mate. Awesome work!

Ta dude

Great work mate!

Lot of work for £100!

It's more enjoyment for me than money tbh plus I don't like seeing people getting ripped off for £2 worth of t-cut and an hours work lol

 

[Clio-Ell]

Great results, any interior shots after"

 

[Scrooge]

I only hoovered and gave it a quick sprucing with some interior detailer so I didn't bother with any pictures mate

 

[JD]

Looks good Ant! Almost PMd you about popping over today as was at a loose end. Ended up botch detailing on the street with some af tripple - my god it's good!!!!!!

 

[Scrooge]

Haha! I was properly tempted to just tripple this tbh! What was you detailing?

 

[JD]

Just mine fella. Real bodge detailing at the moment. Anything I can do on the street (local jet wash, hose at home, tripple and c2v3)!

 

[Scrooge]

I bet that was a chore in this heat!!
​
I need to find time for my own car, covered in tree sap 2 hours after its last mini details and now it has two tonne of seagul s**t over it

 

[Alex H]

Good work.

 

[supptora]

The ash on the dash and in the tray.. wow.. why don't they flick the ash out of the window and threw the end out when they're done lol
Nice work, looks a lot better now

 

[Scrooge]

You'd understand if you knew them lol

 

[Chapppers11]

It's more enjoyment for me than money tbh plus I don't like seeing people getting ripped off for £2 worth of t-cut and an hours work lol

Fair enough, good effort!

 

[Scrooge]

Also gave me the chance to start teaching Fat Dave who surprisningly by the end of the day got his technique bob on with the DA

Aye, to be honest, it was a little silly. Waited to late in the day, but the water is so hard in this area that I've just got loads of water spots on the roof etc. Should have bought a Kent towel from B&Q now I think about it. Either way, Tripple removed them and looked superb under C2V3! Old boyo came over to me and said the thing looked like glass!

 

[Scrooge]

My water is hard too, been looking at some filters. I need so much gear it's unreal. Expensive hobby.
